ESSENDON doctor Bruce Reid has spoken with Nathan Lovett-Murray about the former Bomber's concerns over his daughter's health.
Lovett-Murray reportedly claims his three-year-old daughter, who was conceived about a year after the Bombers' 2012 supplements program ended, has a mysterious growth on her chest and behavioural issues.
The 34-year-old is suing his former club over health fears for his daughter, News Corp Australia reports.
"There's no doubt in my mind that the injection program we were put through has had some impact on my daughter," Lovett-Murray told News Corp.
Lovett-Murray last year served a year-long ban for his involvement in the doping program, but his AFL career ended in 2012.
Essendon chief executive Xavier Campbell said on Friday the club had known about Lovett-Murray's concerns.
"I was [aware]. I've spoken to Nathan about that, Bruce Reid our doctor has spoken to Nathan and his management about that, and we've assisted wherever we can financially but also with respect to specialists and things like that," Campbell said.
Campbell said 31 of the 34 past and present Bombers hit by WADA-imposed bans last year have settled compensation deals with the club, with Lovett-Murray among the players yet to come to terms.
Essendon has wanted to provide a "consistent and fair approach" to the compensation claims, Campbell said, and it will continue to provide support for its former players.
"Obviously it's challenging for Nathan. The club, when it was first brought to our attention, we worked with his management, we provided support, where we could. That's something we'll continue to do, not just for Nathan but all players impacted by the supplements program. It's entirely appropriate for us to do that," he said.
Earlier, AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan lamented being unable to ascertain what was injected into Lovett-Murray.
McLachlan said support was being offered to the former utility, but a lack of details clouded the matter.
"The AFL and the Essendon footy club will do everything we can to help Nathan and his family in what is clearly a very tough period," McLachlan told 3AW on Friday.
"Clearly, I think that's been implicit in this is the uncertainty of not knowing what the players got. That's always been one of the most challenging aspects of this.
"In the broader sense, Nathan's management is still negotiating with Essendon and I think he's one of the last couple of people to not finalise their compensation claim.
"I'm sure that will get done. If there's broader support or medical support we can provide, we'll do whatever we can."
